The album’s main theme is related to time conception and a transitional journey; where the deepest, darkest place is lit by the furthest, brightest points. The tracklist order depends on the format with one transition on cd/digital, and two transitions (one per side) on vinyl/cassette. Visually inspired by the movie La Cicatrice Intérieure, starring Nico.
released March 23rd, 2012.  Never heard an album that contains shoegaze, lysergic psych and stoner rock so successfully. This record pushes all of those buttons effortlessly…a truly unique and epic record. Stars Reach The Abyss is a very accurate musical account of 50 years of drug music.

Italian four-piece New Candys have shared stages with the likes of Dead Skeletons, Crystal Stilts and The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion while two of their members also play as part of Lorelle And The Obsolete’s live set up. Having released their first album “Stars Reach The Abyss” back in 2012, they finally got round to putting out the follow-up “New Candys As Medicine” in March of this year. Produced by former Loop drummer John Wills, it’s a psychedelic power trip of an album that demands your attention from its opening bars. They also put out a limited edition 10 inch split single with Kill Your Boyfriend, and here’s ‘Surf 2’, taken from that release.

First single from the album “New Candys As Medicine”. “Doped, sedated, highly pop-psychedelic and buzzing in keeping a low profile. A long walk through the desert under the burning Sun.” The New Candys album “New Candys As Medicine” will be released today on March the 16th on Minneapolis based label Picture In My Ear (vinyl, cd and digital formats) and Fuzz Club Records (deluxe vinyl). We recorded it in different studios this time, between Brescia and Treviso, we worked hard on it mostly with John Wills (original drummer/producer of Loop, now with Pumajaw) who has mixed it, Pierluigi Ballarin who has recorded the most of it and Andrea Condotta, the owner of our previous rehearsal space Spazio 55 where we added some overdubs and recorded a song.
Gianluca Zanin instead has recorded the first single “Dark Love” at Studiobeat 2 in Treviso.
